Rob Wetton looked out his window - - then probably went back to bed, but not before uploading today's scene to the Pasty Cam. Wonder what they would do out here in Redding, CA if they got a coupla feeta white stuff in a coupla days? That's the report from parts of the Copper Country. Wonder just how much they got?

I picked up a nifty mapping program for this new laptop, and maybe later today can start givin updates from the different localities.

Good night from California - - and good morning from da U.P.

Please feel free to ship off as much of the white stuff as you can to P.O. Box S.N.O.W., Snellville, GA. We will be more than happy to take it off your hands! (I am green with envy and drooling over these pix!)

I second that, Alex! I'm not green with envy, but yellow with all of the pollen coating everything here in South Carolina and making us all sneeze. A little snow might be just what the doctor ordered!

I can't believe all the snow at this time of year. We went to Copper Harbor for the first time last summer and I've been looking at your pictures ever since. Absolutely beautiful! And if Toivo gets to San Leandro, Ca (across the bay from SF) give us a holler! via email of course.

If ya got it, ya don't want it. If ya don't have it, ya want it. Tee Hee. That's the way we are. Me too. I'm sitting here in the Twin Cities where we got about an inch and it's mostly gone now. I'd like some more, even now as it's part of early spring here. But I haven't had to shovel over 200 inches this winter like you in Copper Country. It does look beautiful though, on the Bridge Cam and the MTU View Cam.

Hey Toivo, You shoulda hung a right at Redding and travelled the beautiful Hwy 299W past Weaverville sitting at the base of the Salmon/Trinity Alps and then continued on west following the spectacular Trinity Scenic Highway following the gorgeous Trinity River famous for its steelhead and salmon fishing and wonderful whitewater sports of rafting and kayaking. You do't know what you missed !!

Hello from Toivo's new neck of the woods! cak and Marsha, here's the Gazette url: http://www.mininggazette.com/ , but I couldn't find anything about Taka, either. Unfortunately, the online edition of the DMG doesn't include everything in the paper edition (to tempt you to purchase a subscription). Maybe we can find a kindly soul who will scan in the article and/or picture so we can give Taka the applause she most definitely deserves....

Toivo, make sure to break out the sunscreen for tomorrow -- should be another glorious day here in Central California; 80s and sunny. The spring breezes have died down a bit for the weekend, and the flowers, leaves and birds are a sight to behold!

I wish I was there!! I tell ya. You'd think that if a relative is going to die they'd check with you first to see if it was convienant for you. Oh well. It got down to 30 degrees here in Kalamazoo today! I'm not sure I can take all this heat! :-)

What seems appropiate to say now that's been said here before in the past, considering all the above>>>> "No Winter Lasts Forever" "No Spring Skips It's Turn" and>> "The New Snow Is The Death of The Old" (old Finnish proverbs!)
